On draft pour at the brewery. Dark brown color with a medium head. Dark fruits with the perfect amount of sweetness. Almost too smooth for a quad.

Bottle. Pours a brown with min head. Smells and tastes of caramel, citrus, banana, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, sticky, Over all not even close to what I expected unbalanced to me pretty sweet not great I wouldn’t want it again. Side not barcode thing you can on bottle takes you to YouTube plays let’s get it in funny and suiting to bottle name and image kinda cool.

Growler shared by jcwattsrugger. Poured a deep dark brown tootsie roll body with a smaller tight body beige head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, chocolate, tootsie roll, hint of citrus. Medium to full syrupy body with smooth carbonation. Flavor of yeast, chocolate, nutts, dark fruit, prunes, figs, sweet dark sugar. Very nice and one of the best Magic Hat beers I’ve ever had.

Magic Hat Brewery (Artifactory according to them): Pours a darkish color, but lighter than what I would expect from a quad. Aroma is a whole lot of caramel, fruit, and sugar. I would perhaps think that this was a barley wine or a sweet strong ale. Taste is much in the same direction. Belgian yeast presence is felt, but not by enough exactly. Flavour profile is different from a conventional quad, but still pretty well done. Perhaps too sweet to have too much of, but still pretty good.
